Hey all, I'm looking for recommendations or advice on the best way to combine 4 SMA antenna signals from (2 additional RX's not in slot), inputting into 2 MCX into the antenna aux in the SL2? Can this be done with a simple splitter or a cable made? Thanks Jon

Hi, I invested in the SD888 earlier this year and so far loving it. I'm getting more aquianted with Dante and considering how I might use for future applications to expand my system that require more than 8 inputs. The obvious route for expansion to me is the SL-2, and while thats the most streamline / compact / film applicable solution, I am curious about other devices that might buy me the extra channels and also give me more versatility (aka more universal mic/line inputs), while also saving me a bit of $$. So far some of the most interesting options are: RDL SF-XMN4 - 4 mic/line inputs, 48v ph, compact. For $750ish it seems like th…

Hi, Has anyone faced any issues with the Icon Platform M+ Controller while using it with the Scorpio? Mine freezes at times - Sometimes the shift key stops working and at times the Coms send button freezes and refuses to turn off. Also, sometimes the entire unit freezes and none of the buttons work - I have to restart the controller for it to start working again. I have installed the latest firmware on the Scorpio and the Platform M+ but that did not help. I plan to upgrade to the CL-16 eventually but if anyone has faced similar issues and managed to fixed them, I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Hi all, Curious what are people's favorite stereo pair mic setups specifically for audience laughter tracks? I have a gig in a month for some comedy recording, and have Schoeps CMC MK4 in a pair as well as Oktava Cardioids in a pair at my disposal. Also have miniCMITs and MKH50s in pairs but my brain went caridoid for this use. ORTF? X/Y? What's the best for laughter? I thought a pair at the front of the stage and then one around the middle or rear would be good locations for my mics. Thanks for any tips Jon

Curious if anyone has feedback on my current display issue on a 411. The text shows up glitchy, or incorrect. it started happening after an accidental power unplug. Its somewhat okay on the main home screen for tx/ rx signals etc, but menu diving becomes difficult as words are not easily legible.

Hello! I just got my Deity SPD1. When powering it with my 65W Magsafe-USB-C it shows it's only getting 9V, which is not enough for my DADM226. I don't know why it is like that, because the Magsafe is supposed to deliver also 12V or more. Which USB-C power supply do you recommend / use with the Deity? And: Is there a way to set USB-C to first priority power? When I attach USB-C and a smart battery simultaniously it first drains the battery and then switches to USB-C. But what I'd like to do on my cart is using USB-C for wall power but having a battery as a backup if wall power is gone. I can't find any settings on the SPD-1 …

I've been using a rode boompole pro for a couple of years now, and it's been fine for the low-no budget student short films I've been working on, but now I'm getting boom-op gigs and I don't think it'll really cut it anymore. Ideally, I'm looking for something that's internally cabled (coiled) with a side exit xlr, and not 6 sections. Considering the rode pole reaches 10' max, would it make sense to invest in a longer pole to start, then upgrade from the rode one to a nicer short pole down the line? Or would it be better to shoot down the middle for a 4m pole? Budget isn't too much of a factor, I want to get something that will last. I've heard go…

I just received a call from a client that this happened although we used a slate so we were covered. They were kind enough to let me know. I went thru months of files and found only one other time this happened. The other time was not the first file but the 6th file recorded that day. Anyone else run into this and know what might have caused it? I feel like operator error for my instance is key as I am working on tracing my steps seeing if I can duplicate it. Both MARF and Wav mirror versions show zero start time on these particular files.

Hi folks, am relatively new to location sound recording and in the process of building up my sound package. Has anyone used the Relacart PM320R-E? I believe they are compatible with my Sennheiser G3 (UK Band E 862-865). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Billy

I bought a couple of DPA 6060 mics to replace my ageing cos-11s. I bought the microdot version with the Lectro adapter. With my cos-11s I typically have the gain on my Lectro SMV around 18. With the 6060 I had to gain up to 27 to get an acceptable level out of the mic. Also it had a noticeable noise floor and it had some intermittent pops and drop outs. I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong. Are 6060s wired differently and I bought the wrong one? I bought it from B&H and the description stated that it was for SM transmitters. Any thoughts or help are appreciated.

hey now, i'm looking for the best matching product number (was leaning towards rycote windjammer, but open to suggestions for anything that fits over the bd5 snugly/functionally). ideally i'd snag a couple of the w20 r1's, but am on a tight budget for the next few months. do not have a need for a blimp, as these will be run with various coincident pairings of various schoeps caps. bonus points for something besides the standard grey/black/beige (flair works fine for this situation/application also somewhat crunched on time for special ordering purposes, so more bonus points if someone has a pair to part with or…

I’m having a tough time settling on a configuration for an archival field recording project. Some context: currently my only recording gear is a D100 and a pair of LOM Usis. Use case: recording ambiences for an acoustic ecology project (and, as a secondary, as textures and samples for musique concrete compositions). I’ve been going over and over ORTF vs M/S and I think I’ve decided on the former. Budget is capped at $5000. Right now I’m considering: 2x MKH8040, Cinela Albert, and a Mixpre 2 but reading about handling problems and general gripes about the 8040s has me a bit concerned. Renting in my area isn’t really an option. …

Hi ! I'm currently upgrading my kit for the upcoming shoot and I have a question about the frequency band for my IEMs and scratch audio. I'll have 8 A10 tx in the band 470 - 558 and 2 TX RX sennheizer G3 kit in the band 516 - 558 I'd like to use the G3s with some IEM G4 for the director, script, boom ops and scratch audio I think I could use the A10s between 470 and 510 and the G3s around 554 558 almost everyone in my region (europe) uses 800 band for their IEMs and I easily understand that it gives more room for TX frequencies and it would prevent interferences with the A10 RX when I am in a bag setup Bu…

My favorite contribution to Nova is becoming a reality. This is a game changer for reality bag mixers! it uses Bias voltage to enable the output to activate Push to talk on the walkie. Gene Martin is making me hd26 with a mic that will be connected to Nova and I can use the microphone and com to enable the walkie. I have been routing the walkie to my mixer/recorder for a very long time and now I don’t even need to use the walkie microphone and bring it to my mount. Everything is integrated and eliminates the need for those PTT walkie microphones.

I’ve been using LECTRO SR SLEEVE‘s to mount my IFBlue RX’s on camera for a scratch track. Just remove the clip from the IFBlue and the fit is too perfect. Endless mounting options from there and adds some “stoutnesses” the the IFBlue. 10/10

Does anybody have definitive knowledge of what became of ZHD48? Zaxcom stopped supporting it with the MRX214/414, and, although it is in the manual for the TRX745 (and TRXLA), it's not actually possible to select it with any of the current-firmware transmitters that I own. What happened? Is ZHD96 a better compromise? Did ZHD48 not live up to its promise? I have no immediate need for stacking frequencies so closely, but I was curious about the claimed superior performance with indoor reflections.

Has anyone found a configuration for the COSI that can fit a DPA4017b? I currently have the COSI-XL-8060 (long enough for the 8060 + MZ filter). I'd love to be able to just switch out mic plug holders into the same COSI for the 4017b, but I think the 4017 might be one inch too long to pull it off. Looking for experiences and ideas, because I absolutely love my COSI.

I want to use my A20 mini Tx with a DPA 4097 as a plant mic. The shape of the Tx makes it problematic. Does anyone have a suggestion for mounting or propping the unit? I need it to be vibration resistant.

Hello - I'm struggling with a minor issue. Setup is DSR4 into a SL2/888 Transmitter is single block 19 UH400 Latest FW on DSR4 and 888. receiver mode is NA HYB When I select a freq in the block 19 range using the 888 menus, it prompts me to select between 470 and 19. Even if I select 19, it immediately reverts to 470, and therefore won't work with my block 19 tx. However, if I manually select the frequency on the face of the DSR4, the DSR4 screen menu gives me a 470/19 toggle option...I choose the 19 option and it all works. It even show blocks 19 on the 888/SL2 receiver menu. But if I make any frequency adjustment n…
